Supporting Family Caregivers: A Look at State and National Trends - Conversations with GIA
Drawing from Caregiving in the U.S. 2015, learn about the “new normal” of caregiving, which includes millennials, those ages 75 and older, and higher hour caregivers. Participants will explore the foundation of caregiving in the U.S., insights on national and state trends, as well as public policy efforts aimed at supporting family caregivers. These efforts include: the CARE Act; the RAISE Act; the bipartisan Assisting Caregivers Today (ACT) Caucus; and other legislative/public policy efforts around supporting family caregivers. AARP Public Policy Institute’s newest initiative, the Home Alone Alliance, will also be discussed. Discover opportunities in which philanthropy and others can support the well-being of older adults and their caregivers.
